Public Steam disclosure research25,380 disclosures tracked
Where do games disclose AI use?
Search developers’ Steam disclosures, compare classified AI use across
games, and follow recorded changes.
This index adds cross-game classifications and statistics to
statements published on individual store pages.
Groups reflect automatic analysis of public disclosures; mature records are excluded. These counts do not measure AI use across all of Steam.
Missing or unclear statements cannot establish whether a game uses AI.
Kepler Ascent was made by an independent developer with the help of generative AI tools. AI was used to write part of the game's text (story and AURA's lines), to compose the music and create AURA's synthesized voice, to build some 3D models and cinematic sets (generated through scripts), and to produce the logo and artwork of this store page (rendered from the game's own models). All of this content was created ahead of time and reviewed by the developer. Nothing is generated by AI while you play.
The game's sound effects were created with AI audio-generation tools during development, then selected and level-matched by the developer. Nothing is generated by AI while you play.
Pre-generated: the game's code, its procedurally built 3D models, levels and effects, the synthesized in-game music, parts of the UI art, the store artwork and the store texts/translations were created with the help of AI tools (Anthropic Claude) under the developer's direction and review. The menu music tracks were generated by the developer with Google Gemini. Sound effects are edited recordings from Kenney (CC0) and Mixkit. No AI content is generated live while playing.
Generative AI was used to create the game's artwork, music, voices and sound effects, including store and promotional artwork. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay.
AI-assisted tools were used to help create some splash screen visuals and store page promotional artwork. All assets were reviewed and finalized by the developer before being included in the game and store materials.
Some of the artwork was created using AI tools. The code was also reviewed with, or assisted by, AI.
If the concept finds its audience, we intend to pay an artist to produce artwork that is not AI-generated. Artists who would like to be part of the project are welcome to join us.
Generative AI tools were used to assist in the creation of certain pre-generated 2D artwork and visual assets during development. AI-assisted artwork is reviewed, edited, and integrated by the development team to maintain the game's intended visual style and quality. No generative AI content is created live during gameplay
Generative AI was used during the development of this game. AI-assisted tools were used to create or assist with visual assets, UI elements, backgrounds, in-game text, localization, and portions of the game's code and development process. Music used in the game was not generated by AI.
All AI-assisted content was created during development. The game does not use generative AI to create content in real time during gameplay.
Coppersmog is a game created independently by me, a father, a husband and a video game hobbyist.
I'm proud to say that I designed the game, directed it, and decided what made it fun to play.
I also built it with the help of generative AI.
I wanted to tell you this fact plainly so that my honesty could help bridge your concerns and inform your choice to play this game.
Here is what the AI contribution actually means in this game and with me specifically.
Every decision in this game is mine. The world, the rules, how a room feels, what a blorb is, and what's allowed to happen to one, I set it all.
To be honest, I throw away most of what AI generates because it just doesn't "get it" most of the time.
AI has no taste. It cannot tell when something is right, funny, or profound. It can make an enormous number of things, but it cannot decide which of them belongs in Coppersmog. That judgement is the heart of the job. That judgement is my most important aspect of what I do.
AI gives me is attempts, drafts and options.
It writes code segments, runs thousands of fight simulations, and fixes my grammar and then I cut, change, reject, and try again.
AI is wrong constantly.
Sometimes it builds a second version of something the game already has. Sometimes it forgets a decision we made weeks ago. Sometimes it writes code that looks perfect and never runs. There's a lot of invisible work to keep those pieces pointed in the same direction. Orchestrating it all falls to me.
I know that AI integration is not acceptable to everyone and so I wanted to be honest about how I'm using it to give you a chance to make an informed decision.
If you read all of this and decide that Coppersmog is not for you, that's a completely fair choice. I want you to make choices that are best for you, using the facts in front of you.
One thing that brings me comfort as I wrestle with where I want AI to be in my life is that this is a hobby project that made me smile quite a bit. I'm proud of my little world. Thank you.
Destroy the Flag was developed with the assistance of a generative AI coding assistant (Claude, by Anthropic), used throughout development as a programming and writing collaborator.
Pre-Generated content (created during development, ships with the game):
- In-game interface text — menu labels, HUD text, on-screen instructions, and system messages — was drafted with AI assistance as part of the game's code, then reviewed and refined by the developer before shipping.
- The Steam store page's short and long descriassistance, then fact-checked, edited, and approvpublishing.
Live-Generated content: None. The game does not usnt isgenerated by AI while the game is being
played
SIDE OUT was built with AI-assisted development tools. No artwork, audio, text or other content in the game is generated by AI. All visuals are drawn procedurally in code, and all store text is written by hand.
Artwork used on the Steam store page was created with the assistance of generative AI and was subsequently manually edited, refined, and improved. AI tools were also used to assist with the localization of the Steam store page.
Generative AI tools were utilized for auxiliary purposes in the production of some assets. These assets were modified and supplemented by professional art personnel and were finally applied to the game.
Generative AI tools were used during the creation of some soundtracks for the game. All AI-generated audio assets have been carefully selected, reviewed, and edited to align with the game's atmosphere and aesthetic.
Some of this game's assets were produced with the help of generative AI tools: the 2D key art and cinematic stills used in the trailer, capsule art and main menu; the base meshes for the twelve zodiac fighters, generated with Meshy and then rigged, retextured and reworked by hand; and part of the music and sound effects. Every AI-generated asset was reviewed, edited and integrated manually before shipping. No generative AI runs at runtime — nothing is generated while you play.
During Early Access, AI placeholders might be used in lieu of handcrafted assets to speed up development and to improve the game’s visual fidelity. It is currently our plan to gradually replace all AI-generated assets by the final release.
AI Generation Disclosure
Abduction uses generative AI in limited, supporting ways during development — for example, assisting with asset preparation such as converting custom font designs into usable game fonts. All core game design, systems, art direction, and content are created and reviewed by the developer. Generative AI is a tool in the pipeline, not a substitute for the creative work behind the game.
Generative AI tools were used during development to generate some 3D model assets, textures, and sounds. All AI-generated content was pre-rendered and reviewed before being included in the game build. No live generative AI is used during gameplay.
